The hotel is located very central, with most attractions a short walk away. The rooms are reasonably clean and well priced. The food at the restaurant is very good. We had most of our meals at the restaurant. We organised a tour from the hotel to Nagarkot to see the sunrise over the Himalayas, and the tour was fine. The... More

We recently stayed on three separate occasions at the Hotel Ganesh Himal and have nothing but excellent things to say about this place. We arrived late after travelling for all day from Hong Kong, and it was a perfect place to end up. The hotel itself is a couple blocks off a main road in Thamel, close enough to walk... More

Had a great experience here before and after our 5 week trek. Staff were friendly, especially the cleaning staff. Clean rooms with hot showers and not too noisy for being in the city (save for the dogs at night which no one can control). Upon returning from our trek we were in the North Tower and the wifi was not... More

My wife and I just stayed in Ganesh Himal for 3 nights after our EBC trekking. I must say that Ganesh Himal is a small paradise in the middle of a hectic and busy city. Staff is kind and helpfull. Specially the (public) balconies and the garden are great for relaxing. Free (tap) water, WiFi and (three) public computers are... More

What a wonderful place! People were friendly and helpful at all times. The garden is a lovely refuge from the chaos of Kathmandu. The food was good too! There are coverd balconies on each floor and a very nice roof top spot to get the sun and see the views. Rooms were quite nice with good bathrooms, though, as typical... More

I stayed here for the first three nights of my trip to Nepal. I knew it was more expensive than the average hotel when I booked but as a solo female traveller new to Nepal I decided that I would be happy to pay the extra for the first few nights whilst I found my feet. Staff very friendly, room... More

This hotel is gorgeous. I stayed in an expensive suite for one night which was absolutely gorgeous with a sparkling bathroom. I then stayed in a less expensive twin, which was nowhere near as impressive but perfectly adequate, if not small and basic. The facilities are great, free computers with internet downstairs. The corridors and reception area are decorated magnificently.... More

We took a gamble on this hotel, being unable to get a room at a place with which we are familiar. the gamble paid off. The location is excellent, the staff are friendly and super helpful and will arrange trips all over, including trekking, at very reasonable costs. They obviously have their favourite places which are most likely to their... More

We Loved the Ganesh Himal, all together we spent over a week here. Staff we friendly, rooms clean, HOT water which was exciting and rooms affordable. The location is just outside the Thamel area and is an easy walk. The roof top was our favorite place to relax and unwind. The only thing we did not love is the toilets... More
